Please remember: There is no parking in the rear TMH lot tomorrow morning. Bring quarters; be prepared to pay for meters. I will do my best to time the intermission break with the meters’ intervals.
TMH opens at 9 am for setup; dress rehearsal (in concert order) begins promptly at 10 am.
See you in the morning!

Great work tonight! See you on Saturday for our dress rehearsal downbeat at 10 am!
Our rehearsal plan is set for tomorrow evening, Wednesday, February 24. Brian Worsdale will be with us to rehearse Elixir, and this is our last chance to rehearse and tune up (pun intended) the last details of this program. I managed to finish last week’s rehearsal at 9:45 pm, but please plan on staying until 10:00 pm tomorrow as needed, in order to recoup some of the time lost from our canceled rehearsal.
The weather report is not good for tomorrow evening. Plan for rain, lots of it. Allow a little extra travel time, and bring a sturdy umbrella or poncho. High winds and downpours are forecast to create localized flooding, so please be careful driving to and from rehearsal.
Our dress rehearsal is Saturday morning,10 am – 1 pm. I learned today that we will not be allowed to park in the rear TMH lot on Saturday because of a bus and other vehicles involved in Saturday night’s concert. So please plan ahead to park elsewhere. I know this especially impacts the percussion. My best suggestion is to park on the side street next to the stage door, unload, and then move the car to park. I’m sorry, but my hands are tied.
Drive safely and we’ll see you tomorrow evening.
Thank you to everyone who was able to negotiate personal calendars to be able to attend our postponed rehearsal on Tuesday. I know this was tough for many members, especially those who had made travel plans around the Monday evening rehearsal. Mother Nature simply did not cooperate! Even with the limited personnel, we managed to accomplish a great deal.
Please remember that our rehearsals next week are Wednesday, February 24, 7:30-10:00 pm, and Saturday, February 27 (dress rehearsal), 10:00 am – 1:00 pm (we’ll likely end early). Sound check on Sunday, February 28 will be 1:00 pm, and the concert downbeat is 3:00 pm. There is no rehearsal on Monday, February 22, not because of weather, but because of TMH scheduling.
This coming Sunday: We have seven WSW members playing on this chamber music concert Sunday, February 21 at 2:00 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 7 South Highland Avenue (Rt. 9 & Rt. 133) in Ossining. Admission is free (offerings accepted for church expenses). A reception follows the concert. Please consider attending — I know it will be a wonderful program!
I’ll update the rehearsal schedules for next Wednesday and Saturday in the next day or so. I’m looking forward to the final stages of our rehearsals and performance together on February 28! Keep spreading the word to invite newcomers to this program!
